Currys Letterkenny staff raise €5,000 in head shave for Donegal Hospice

Currys Letterkenny General Manager Martin Goldrick, and Currys Letterkenny Sales Manager Fred Williams who shaved their heads on Black Friday in a bid to raise much needed funds for Donegal Hospice, this week presented the charity with a cheque for €5,000 for their efforts.

"The Donegal Hospice is part of everyday life here in Donegal and provides exemplary cover and care to all who need to avail of its services. Like so many others, cancer has come into our colleagues’ lives here in Currys Letterkenny, so myself and the team wanted to help the hospice by way of holding a head shave fundraising event on Black Friday,” Martin said. “The hospice relies on fundraisers like this for at least 20% of the funding they need in order to buy specialist equipment, so we are absolutely delighted to have presented them with a cheque this week for €5,000.”

Isobell Doherty: Administrator at Donegal Hospice added: “On behalf of the Donegal Hospice Services, I would like to thank Martin and the team at Currys Letterkenny for their dedication and generosity in raising this extraordinary amount of money to support our services. The €5,000 raised will be put to the best possible use, buying much needed equipment for the palliative care patients."
